Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal
Ah yes the classic dangerous command made safe by a modifier key. Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger, just make sure you’re holding down the shift key and it’s all good!
It's all good bro the shafty is on
Ctrl+insert to copy and shift+insert also works! It was the DOS way of doing it.
Or just left click to highlight & middle click to paste.
Just have to be different don't they.
Or change copy to command+c.. I’m gonna be honest, OSX is right here. And quite strangely it is very hard to customize your linux to imitate that.

This is how my secure crt is set up when im accessing switches. If i use ctrl+c it cancels what im doing and drops back to priv mode and its so frustrating.
Or just highlight the text and use middle click to paste
It didn't load completely at first, so i saw something like this and i think it is even better that way:
Now I'm upset this wasn't the original haha
I think it works better with the context of the original already present.
I've almost gotten into the habit of hitting ’Ctrl+Shift+C’ when I want to copy something because of that.
I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.
I open developer tools every day doing that!
Yes. And on Microsoft Teams that triggers a chat call.
Burn it with fire!
😂
That solution ish the worst. Ctrl-shift-c does a shitload of different things in different programs, and in browsers it does different things per page.
Ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-del for the win bit THEN some programs simply refuse to support that.
I have like 4 different copy paste short cuts because of this and it sucks
I'm not saying it's great, but at least in my use I haven't seen it being destructive/disruptive like Ctrl+C is.

Kitty has the feature that if you have text selected it will copy and if not then it will interrupt the command
Yeah I love this feature. I love it so much that I'll also tell everyone who cares to listen how you can use it.
Edit your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file to include map ctrl+c copy_and_clear_or_interrupt and you are good to go.
Only issue I have that it doesn't seem to work in the vscode terminal.

Oh what a great way to further entrench a bad habbit! Hang on I need to remedy some refactored code with rm -rf * which Kitty made safe if I’m in a directory with my project files 🙄
Ctrl/Shift+Insert gang rise!
Running a long command and didn’t ctrl-D it…
I see myself in this meme and I do not like it.
I've changed this on all my terminals and I'm not ashamed of it.
True strength is bending the machine to appease your habits, not to bend your habits to appease the machine.
No. The flesh is weak. The machine is immortal.
Flesh is fallible but ritual honours the machine spirit.
All hail the Omnissiah.
I bought a Mac to solve this problem lol
Should have used middle mouse button instead
Average itoddler
That sounds a lot like
My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee
Yeah, I was looking at this wondering why anyone would stop a program just to copy a line, and then I remembered that not everyone uses a Mac.
you can literally change the shortcut
Modern problems require costly solutions.
I literally just learned about Ctrl+c last week, I've been using terminal casually since I was 10, and always thought it was dumb that when a script was stuck hanging that I had to close the command window and redo my steps. I always thought it was weird that you had to right click to copy something and never thought why that might be the case, I have no excuses.
I don't remember the last time I used ctrl-C. It's always select or "+y.
I additionally mapped that latter one to F2, because being able to repeatedly copy from VIM and paste into another application without having to move your hand between mouse and keyboard is nice.
Of course, that's VIM. If you meant "vim mode" in shell, then that's a different story.
